Correct!
But what he really want to know is how to make it work in real life, not
only the technical reason it doesn't.
Matt, what you will have to do is to have some function to call for in the
top.php and bottom.php if you want to have some kind of dynamic content.
What you could do is something like this:
<?php
//this is top.php
function write_1()
{
echo 'This is 1';
}
?>
<?php
//this is bottom.php
function write_2()
{
echo 'This is 2';
}
?>
<?php
//This is mainfile, e.g. index.php
include("top.php");
write_1();
?>
Here is my index stuff...
<?php
include("bottom.php");
write_2();
?>
